Simple 'ed' endings - for teacher information only
Level 2 pupils will be expected to spell words with 'ed' endings and you will find these incorprorated into the lists in the relevant places. Where used, 'ed' endings signify that something has happened:
Today I talk: yesterday I talked
Today we play: yesterday we played.
Pupils who have completed Level 1 should be used to reading 'ed' words now and realise that sometimes the letters 'ed' just make a 't' sound, like walked and talked. Other times they make an 'id' sound, like in rested.
To start with, we begin by only using simple 'ed' words, that being ones in which the root word is written and then 'ed' added, with no extra doubling of letters. Doubling will be studied shortly.
Support your pupil as necessary to write these words correctly.

ck
Remind pupils: 'ck' always only goes with a vowel saying it's sound - a short vowel sound.
Correct as necessary, although having completed level 1, children should have a good grasp of how to use 'ck'. We will now study more words.

Odd word for spelling:
they Dictation for Friday
Frank and Jack get in the black truck and go to the dock. They must be quick. At the dock they lift bricks onto the back of the truck. Frank locks the truck. they get a bag of crisps for a snack and a hot drink. Teaching tips: · Remind your pupil of the CK rules, as before: We only use 'ck' when we hear the sounds ack, eck, ick, ock, uck in words. At all other times we use /k/' unless told otherwise. · Remind the pupil that ‘qu’ always go together. The queen never goes anywhere without her umbrella. · Throughout Level 2, you do not need to use flashcards unless it becomes clear that your pupil needs extra support with a sound, in which case, temporary use of the appropriate card can be made to good effect. · Help with plurals as they can sound as if the word ends with /x/. Write the root word first, then add ‘s’. · Remind: Jack is a proper noun. It is the name of a person, therefore we need to use a capital letter. |
